2017 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE (unaudited)

(I) Quarter Ended September 30, 2017

Revenues

Total Revenues

For Q3 2017, Total revenues were $149.4 million, an increase of 5% as compared to 2016. The increase is primarily driven by increased product sales, namely Other product sales, and contract manufacturing revenues, offset by lower contracts and grants revenue.

Product Sales

For Q3 2017, Product sales were $114.3 million, an increase of 18% as compared to 2016. The increase is principally attributable to other product sales and, specifically, sales related to the timing of BAT deliveries to the SNS and RSDL shipments to the DoD, along with international sales of VIGIV and Trobigard, all offset by lower BioThrax sales due to the timing of BioThrax deliveries to the SNS.

Contract Manufacturing

For Q3 2017, revenue from the Company’s contract manufacturing operations was $18.9 million, an increase of 29 % as compared to 2016. The increase primarily reflects an increase in fill/finish and bulk manufacturing services to commercial entities.

Contracts and Grants

For Q3 2017, contracts and grants revenue was $16.2 million, a decrease of 48% as compared to 2016. The decrease primarily reflects a reduction in revenue associated with the successful completion of multiple U.S. Government contracts as well as reduced R&D activities related to certain ongoing funded development programs.

Operating Expenses

Cost of Product Sales and Contract Manufacturing

For Q3 2017, cost of product sales and contract manufacturing was $44.5 million, an increase of 12% as compared to 2016. The increase primarily reflects the impact of higher international sales of VIGIV and sales of BAT to the SNS.

Research and Development

For Q3 2017, gross R&D expenses were $22.7 million, a decrease of 17% as compared to 2016. The decrease primarily reflects lower costs associated with reduced contract development services performed during the period.

For Q3 2017, net R&D was $6.5 million, as compared to being fully funded and resulting in a net contribution from funded development programs of $4.3 million in 2016. Net R&D, which is more representative of the Company’s actual out-of-pocket investment in product development, is calculated as gross research and development expenses less contracts and grants revenue.

Selling, General and Administrative

For Q3 2017, Selling, general and administrative expenses were $34.5 million, a decrease of 15% as compared to 2016. The decrease is attributable to lower restructuring costs.

Net Income & Adjusted Net Income

For Q3 2017, Net income was $33.6 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, versus $20.4 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in 2016.

For Q3 2017 and 2016, net income per diluted share is computed using the “if-converted” method. This method requires net income to be adjusted to add back interest expense and amortization of debt issuance cost, both net of tax, associated with the Company’s 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021. The following table details the adjustments made in this calculation.

Revenues

Total Revenues

For the nine months of 2017, Total revenues were $367.1 million, an increase of 9% as compared to 2016. The increase is attributable to significantly increased product sales, notably Other product sales, and contract manufacturing services revenue offset by a decrease in contracts and grants revenue and lower BioThrax sales due to the timing of deliveries of BioThrax to the SNS.

Product Sales

For the nine months of 2017, Product sales were $259.9 million, an increase of 24% as compared to 2016. The increase is principally attributable to higher Other product sales, specifically timing of BAT deliveries to the SNS and RSDL shipments to the DoD, along with international sales of VIGIV and Trobigard.

RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME TO ADJUSTED NET INCOME AND EBITDA

This press release contains two financial measures (Adjusted Net Income and EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization)) that are considered “non-GAAP” financial measures under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s definition of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. Adjusted Net Income adjusts for specified items that can be highly variable or difficult to predict, or reflect the non-cash impact of charges resulting from purchase accounting. EBITDA reflects net income excluding the impact of depreciation, amortization, interest expense and provision for income taxes. The Company views these non-GAAP financial measures as a means to facilitate management’s financial and operational decision-making, including evaluation of the Company’s historical operating results and comparison to competitors’ operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measure, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business.

The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures are a matter of management judgment and depend upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts. Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company’s reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the Company’s consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety.
